Rising AI Tech Demystified

A real-life experiment. My third book just got published. Third one? Why is it then an experiment? Because my co-author is Artificial Intelligence 'tool' ChatGPT.

Given my background in FinTech and always seeking for ways that technology can improve our lives, plus the fact that I got hooked on AI/ML during my recent Innovation Circle trip to Seattle and the Bay Area, I wanted to write about this topic: 

Rising AI Tech Demystified: Your guide to understanding Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, and Cryptocurrencies, and how these technologies come together in Algorithmic Crypto Trading.

It includes an evaluation of jointly writing a book with artificial intelligence as well as more unusual FinTech book content such as haikus, poems, a Metallica-style song, and a Star Wars-like excerpt movie script in an easy and lighthearted way.

This book is available as an eBook, paperback and hardcopy: https://a.co/d/4nrMNS3

Newsflash - the book is as good as ChatGPT was then... Not very ;-) Searching for a good read: check out Monkey Money Mind

**Creative Thinker** Rebel in Disguise **Tech Fan** Builder**

Welcome and nice to meet you! I'm Angelique, serial tech entrepreneur & supporter of (female) start-up & scale-up founders (via Techleap & Joanna Invests).

As a creative maverick and NewTech fanatic, I've spent a decade defying convention with FinTech Ohpen, the world’s first cloud-native core banking platform that took banks skyward, boasting over $100 billion Assets under Administration after its start-up phase.

Some have called me a rebel in disguise who has rocked at companies from ING/NN and Westland Securities to Aon & Robein (private banking). I've brought the Netherlands one of its first online robo-advisors and co-founded (bootstrapped and private equity-backed) companies like Cloudtract, 3.14 which is a crypto fund management platform as a fractional CEO. Together with my team I have also scaled the world's largest low-code Mendix expert partner, CLEVR (merged from Digitread - Siemens PLM, Mansystems, Flowfabric and Blockbrains).

Championing industry change as a Non-Executive Director at Holland FinTech, the largest association united financial services companies in the Netherlands with over 300 members, and Supervisory Board Member for various scale-ups, I've also co-authored bestsellers like Wiley's WealthTECH Book, Rising AI Tech Demystified and Forbes' Monkey Money Mind, investigating the psychology behind money and sharing my journey from $100,000 student debt to savvy investments whilst donating the proceeds to The Gorilla Organization.

MT Next Leadership Top 50, City Pioneers Top 30: Inspirational Women Brummell, Top 100 Women in Finance (100women.org).

Motto: Life is not about fitting in, it is about standing out.

‘Being brought up in an entrepreneurial family I have got the spirit for entrepreneurship which I incorporate on a daily basis in companies where I work. The continuous development of both me and my environment is stimulated by my curiosity and power to act and execute (talk less, act more). Having fun combined with the urge to create, renew and improve are my basic principles to grow, where customers, employees and I are part of this process’.

** (Fin)Tech, (cloud)technology, low-code & no-code, branding, well-being, wellness & sustainability, blockchain, crypto, growth hacking on a budget, tangible results and sports fanatic! Start-up & scale-up experience (private equity backed). Keywords: marketing, sales, creative business development, operations, scaling up, strategy, execution power. Proud sponsor of adventurer Mark Slats & The Gorilla Organization.**
